They were always going to go with the Maxim quote. Some newb must've gotten involved with the original artwork.

El Mariachi

so they replaced a New york times quote for a Maxim Quote?

His face looks much more normal on the original, as opposed to the horizontal flip that they used for the revised artwork.

I prefer the original still.

I must admit I am not a fan of these types of movies - they seem to come out every second week - and the trailer didn't look good either....

I heard good things, I don't think it bombed on rottentomatoes.

Good art.

It was in theaters but had a very limited run and very little publicity. Has decent performances but the story is pretty cliche and typical. Worth a rental at most.

He actually sends them to me for approval, and as long as there is a scene or two in which he gets to shout a few lines I more often than not advise him to sign on for the role.

Haven't even heard of this, was it granted a theatrical release? Sounds like a dtv effort.

Yeah, it was pretty average. It started good enough, but then it sort of dwindled on...
Also, this might be a strange comment, but it had way too many close-ups

Edgeman05

Looked bad from the trailers. Will pass for sure.

YlowBstard66

I'll pass. I heard it was pretty weak.
